Love I think I read this at the perfect time
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship
Moderate: Racism, Homophobia, and Suicide
Minor: Fatphobia
So in the first arc the main character has a relationship with one of her teachers,
a core plot point in the book is the suicide of a guy, the main character is shoved out of a party of white girls due to her being Asian, there's like societal fatphobia shown but not really discussed in the book, there's an ongoing theory that the guy who commited suicide did it because he was gay and a homophobic slur is used
